Apple will release a trial version of its iOS software next month, which shows users the health of their batteries and allows them to slow down a phone, which means that to stop the sudden shutdown of the old battery, Cook Said in an interview with ABC News on Wednesday.
Cook said that the phone slow software released last year was intended to ensure that due to an old phone, iPhone users could not find a cut between an important call or text message.
Cook said, "We will tell anyone that we are reducing our performance by some amount so that there is no unexpected restart and if you do not want it you can turn it off." "We do not recommend this because we think people's iPhones are really important to them and you can never tell when something is necessary, our actions were in the service of all users."
An Apple spokesperson refused to comment on Cook's comments or say when it will be available to consumers.
Apple confirmed on December 20 that the software in the iPhone 6, iPhone 6S and iPhone SE models could slow down the phone's performance to deal with the threat from aging batteries. Within days, Apple faced litigation on slowing down the phone.
This issue hit a nerve on social media, where many people raised the voice of a theory that Apple deliberately slowed the old phones so that customers can be encouraged to buy new people. There is no credible evidence that Apple has done so on December 28, Apple has issued a public apology to the customers on the battery issue and said that it has never lessened the life of its products.
Apple has also reduced the cost of battery replacement between $ 79 to $ 29 for the affected model. An analyst at Barclays had said in a note earlier this month that the low cost could lead many new consumers to buy their batteries instead of buying a new phone, in return for which iPhone sales could fall for 2018 .
